Remember textbooks? Yeah. Forget about textbooks. Students at Seton Hill University are all getting iPads and access to all their textbooks on the iBook store. I’d say it’s one of the biggest changes in pedagogy since the move from the one-room schoolhouse.

Check out Seton Hill’s website. It states, in no uncertain terms, that
“Beginning in the fall of 2010, all first year undergraduate students at
Seton Hill will receive a 13″ MacBook laptop and an iPad.”

Can you
imagine? I remember I was about to go to Clarkson University in New York
back in 1993 because they were giving out laptops. But a MacBook and an
iPad? That’s like getting a pony and a unicorn.
